Wisdom Teeth Removal: Minimize Pain and Maximize Comfort
YOU DON’T JUST WANT TO HAVE YOUR WISDOM TOOTH REMOVED, YOU WANT TO BE PAIN-FREE AND GET BACK TO LIFE QUICKLY
To have your wisdom tooth removed with minimal pain and a quick recovery, you need a skilled oral surgeon and a top-notch dental team to work with.
Most people don’t have enough space for their wisdom teeth to emerge correctly, causing them to become impacted and potentially damaging nearby teeth or leading to infection.
At Dental Care of Stamford, we understand that wisdom tooth removal can feel intimidating, but our goal is to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Our experienced oral surgeons specialize in these procedures, ensuring they’re quick, efficient, and minimally invasive. We also offer sedation, so you won’t even remember the procedure, and with our 24/7 answering service, we’re always available to address any concerns.
Our compassionate team takes the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring you feel informed and at ease every step of the way. We’re committed to your long-term comfort, providing personalized care tailored to your needs. If you’re experiencing pain from an infected, impacted wisdom tooth, a warm saltwater rinse (½ teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water) every few hours can offer temporary relief until we can assist you.
We're here to help you get back to your life, pain-free
JUST LIKE WE HAVE FOR all our WONDERFUL PATIENTS!

WHY GET WISDOM TEETH REMOVED?
Alleviate Mouth Pain
Extracting problematic wisdom teeth can relieve the pain and discomfort caused by impacted or erupting teeth, leading to a more comfortable mouth.
Prevent Crowding
Removing wisdom teeth can stop them from pushing other teeth out of alignment, ensuring your smile remains straight and beautiful.

Wisdom teeth can damage neighboring teeth through decay or pressure. Extraction helps protect these teeth from potential harm.
Improve Oral Health
Eliminating wisdom teeth can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
Not everyone has to get their wisdom teeth removed but the majority of people simply do not have room for their wisdom teeth to grow in straight and assume a healthy position in their mouth. If they can’t grow in all the way, there is a gum flap that tends to trap food and bacteria. This area is highly prone to infection, and due to the poor blood supply in the area, the infections can get nasty.
Many people with impacted wisdom teeth – wisdom teeth that have no room to grown in all the way experience chronic infections. It doesn’t necessarily get serious, but it doesn’t get better either. If they sometimes bother you, it is very likely that they are infected and should be removed before a serious infection develops.
If your wisdom teeth hurt, the best thing to do is to seek professional care. If you just take pain medicine, the infection can worsen and get out of control, causing severe pain and swelling. Until you can get to a dentist, you can use warm salt water rinses of 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 8 ounces of water. Rinse every hour or two until the symptoms get a lot better and get professional help.
To make wisdom tooth extraction easier, don’t wait for them to get really infected. At the first sign that they are impacted or could become problematic, schedule a time to remove them. In addition, take extra vitamins and minerals to enhance healing. This can be started 1 – 2 weeks prior to surgery. And lastly, make sure the dentist is experienced in wisdom tooth extractions.
Faster healing depends on following the doctor’s instructions of rest after the surgery, using ice on the outside of your jaw, keeping pressure with gauze on the extraction site and keeping your head elevated. In addition, extra vitamins and minerals will aid the body to repair the surgical site.

Answers to Your Questions
Stamford, CT, named for Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, is located on the Long Island Sound and was a popular place for New Yorkers to build summer homes in the late 1800s. Many loved the area so much that they moved here permanently and commuted to the city by train to work and conduct their business. Just as those new residents found the quaint town of the day to have a unique charm, we join the other Stamford residents of today who love this city for its special flair. Many people find this surprising because New Haven and Bridgeport are the only cities in Connecticut with higher populations than Stamford. Still, its long history has helped it develop into a truly unique modern municipality. Seated about halfway between New York City and New Haven, this city of around 130,000 is considered to be part of the New York metropolitan area, but offers residents more of a hometown feel.
Part of the reason for that small-town charm and comfort level in Stamford is its low crime rate. FBI statistics show that our city is the 16th safest of the 269 cities in the country. This is quite an achievement for an area that is part of the largest metropolis in the country. Crime control is one of the many things that contribute to residents choosing Stamford as their home. Compared with similar-sized cities, both in Connecticut and in the rest of the country, it is rare to find a safe haven like this. There is certainly a direct correlation between the city’s economic growth in recent years and the low crime rate that our citizens enjoy.
Stamford is a thriving economy in and of itself, with the largest financial district in the metropolitan area, aside from Manhattan. As the home of nine Fortune 500 companies, Stamford features one of the most concentrated centers of corporations in the entire country. Norwalk Community College and UConn Stamford are located here, along with several other popular schools, bringing new minds to the city and encouraging the local economy’s growth. Some of the dominant sectors of the current economy include retail, transportation, telecommunications, health care, information technology, tourism, and financial services. There is no other place for our office to make its home with a vibrant urban pulse like this.

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J

My first time at Dental Care and the experience was so great! Joanne did an amazing job with cleaning and Dr. Patel did my fillings in the front to perfection. Oh and Mimi you did an incredible job with … More budgeting, we worked out my financing so smooth. Thank you so much Mimi, you really made me feel comfortable, customer service was beyond top tier. Finally found a Dental home.
